A Rolling Step Stool Inspired by Xiamen's City Flower — the Bougainvillea
A step stool that "blooms" — bringing the charm of Xiamen into a corner of your home.
The Design Story: From City Flower to Furniture
The bougainvillea is the official city flower of Xiamen, China — passionate, resilient, and blooming all year round. We took the silhouette of that flower and built it right into the tread: a petal-shaped platform that works as a step, and doubles as a decorative piece for your living room, balcony, flower shop, or convenience store.
When you don't need the extra height, it's a charming flower-shaped stool. When you do, it's a smooth-gliding two-step ladder. With this stool, practical and beautiful no longer have to be a trade-off.
Key Features
1. Spring-Loaded Retractable Casters — Glides When Empty, Locks When Loaded Hidden spring-loaded 360° casters let you push the stool effortlessly across the floor. The moment you step on it, your weight retracts the wheels and the stool grounds itself firmly — no sliding, no wobble.
2. Waterproof & UV-Resistant — Indoor or Outdoor Made from thick, virgin engineering plastic via one-piece injection molding. Rain or shine, it won't crack, fade, or rust — perfect for balconies, gardens, patios, and courtyards.
3. Drop-Resistant, 150KG Load Capacity A high-toughness structure reinforced with ribs passes a 150 kg static-load test. Adults can safely climb for storage access; kids can use it as a sturdy little seat.
4. Two-Shot Injection Molded Non-Slip Treads The flower-shaped treads use dual-color two-shot molding with a full field of anti-slip bumps. Drainage holes keep the surface dry — safe even with bare or wet feet.
5. Lightweight & Space-Saving Lift and move it with one hand. The compact two-tier profile tucks beside a sofa, bed, door, or shelf — practically invisible when not in use.
6. Custom Colors for Bulk Orders The classic red bougainvillea edition is our signature. White, blue, green and other colors are available for bulk customization. OEM/ODM inquiries from retailers, gift companies, and brands are welcome.

FAQ
Q: Will the stool slide when I step on it? No. The casters are gravity self-locking — your weight instantly retracts them so the stool body rests firmly on the floor, as stable as a fixed step stool.
Q: Can it stay outdoors in the sun? Yes. The thick UV-stabilized plastic resists aging and fading even with long-term sun and rain exposure.
Q: Can I customize colors or add my logo? Yes. Bulk orders support custom colors, logo printing, and mold customization. Contact us for a quote.
